Maytag Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (MDG9606AWW)

We responded to a service call on Vernon Ave NW in Canton, OH for a Maytag dryer that gets hot and sounds like belt loose. Our diagnosis revealed failed coil packs and a damaged blower wheel causing the overheating and unusual noise.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer gets hot and sounds like belt loose. The unit was running but producing excessive heat and making abnormal sounds during operation.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection of the Maytag MDG9606AWW, we found the coil packs had failed and the blower wheel was damaged. These components work together to regulate airflow and temperature — when they fail, the dryer overheats and produces the loose belt sound the customer described.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 279834 — COIL KIT, 33001790 — BLOWER WHEEL
• Work performed: Replaced coil packs and blower
• Result: Dryer now operates at proper temperature with normal sound levels

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maytag dryers are built for longevity, and this model typically provides years of reliable service when properly maintained. The coil pack and blower wheel replacement addresses core operational components, making this a worthwhile repair that should extend the unit’s lifespan significantly.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent airflow restriction that can strain the blower system
• Inspect and clean the exhaust vent annually — blocked vents cause overheating and premature coil failure
• Check the drum seal periodically for wear that can affect air circulation patterns
